Chapter 329 The Reason for Losing Composure
Qin Liuxi has never seen Mrs. Wang show weakness and hesitation. Even when she first returned to her old house, her face was thin and haggard, but her back was straight. Those days were even more difficult than now. She It was also handled calmly.
This is the first time I have seen him as miserable and panicked as he is now.
Qin Liuxi had a gut feeling that something was wrong with the Wang family.
When Ms. Wang heard her asking, her eyes were a little sore, and she felt a kind of suffocation in her chest, so much so that she forgot that the girl in front of her was just a child who had just grown hair.
But she suddenly felt the desire to talk.
Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Have you seen it? In the past, as the mistress of the house in the deep house, she only had to sit and point out the country and read the account books and reconciliations, but she didn't know that doing business involves a lot of knowledge. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into a trap. Here, I was deceived to the point of losing everything.”
When Qin Liuxi heard this, he looked at her face carefully. Although she was frustrated, she did not look like she had lost money. He said, "Did you meet a liar? But you still stayed calm and didn't let him cheat."
"If you hadn't mentioned it in advance, we would have signed the documents and then been defrauded of the payment for the goods." Ms. Wang was a little excited.
Although she and Qin Meiniang had both been matrons before, this was the first time they were doing business themselves. They had a dowry shop in the past, but they had servants to help manage the affairs. They only needed to listen to them for a year or half a year. The manager just needs to go back to the accounts and make some decisions.
Even if something goes wrong in the dowry shop, the stewards will make a plan and then let them make the decision.
But after they got started, they discovered that there was a lot of knowledge here. Apart from anything else, they were blinded by just a way to get raw materials. They happened to meet a broker at the dock, and he had a candied fruit that was better than the ones on the market. The way to make raw materials much cheaper is to make them in larger quantities.
Wang and the others were naturally happy. To be cautious, they followed the other party to the seller's warehouse to have a look. They found that they were indeed excellent and fresh fruits. There were also relevant purchase and sale documents. However, the other party's request was to take a large amount, and the quantity taken was small. If they don't pay, they have to pay for the goods immediately, and they don't wait until it's late, because they are also in a hurry to return.
When Qin Liuxi heard this, he asked, "Manager Li didn't follow you?"
"Follow me." Wang sighed and said: "Their brilliance is that the documents and goods are all real. It's just that the warehouse is rented and they sell several goods. Those goods have already been bought by someone. They just wait. Come to buy goods.”
"Then how did you know it?"
Mrs. Wang said solemnly: "Your eldest aunt thinks this product is worth buying. Manager Li also said that the cost of getting it is indeed lower, but I thought of your words and couldn't be in a hurry, so I made an excuse to raise money and let Li The manager went to find someone to ask about it, but in just one day, before we could find out anything, he actually wanted to buy three items in one order. If he is fooled, he will beat the broker and bring him to court."
Thinking that they had almost been defrauded of a sum of money, Ms. Wang broke out in a cold sweat, feeling angry and anxious.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, we would have taken that batch of goods and been taken advantage of."
Qin Liuxi frowned: "Uncle Li has been in Licheng for so long. It stands to reason that he knows a few brokers, but he didn't realize that the broker is a liar?"
Wang said: "That broker only came to Licheng recently, and you said he was a liar, and he also said he was a victim, just a middleman, and didn't know how much the merchant sold the goods, and who do you think he belongs to?" people."
"who?"
"Brother of the third wife of the Ding family."
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows: "Why are there people from the Ding family everywhere?"
Wang said coldly: "With the Ding family as a guarantee, this broker will go to court, and at most he will be fined a little money, and he will be fine. As a middleman, he not only sells houses, property and goods, but also Borrowing money at interest.”
Her words were full of contempt and disdain, and she said: "Mr. Li asked Shulu about it, and the money lender was Mrs. Ding San. Back then, your grandfather thought that they were all from the same hometown, so he recruited Ding San, who came from a poor family. Shouxin, he also calls your grandfather sir to the outside world, but he didn’t expect that Ding Shouxin has become a big man, but he doesn’t know how to be a good person. He allows his family to do such a derogatory thing, which is really unworthy of publicity. "
It's normal for a broker to cheat, but Mrs. Ding San's lending money at interest is unethical. After all, this kind of money is released to collect high interest, and who among ordinary people would borrow money at interest?
Either he is in urgent need of money, or he is a gambler. No matter which one he is, once he fails to pay, it will be life-threatening. After all, gamblers also have families. If he fails to pay, isn't he dragging down his family?
Therefore, Mrs. Wang is very disapproving and resentful of Mrs. Ding San's behavior.
What a crime!
Qin Liuxi tapped the table and said, "Do you think the Ding family knows you are doing business?"
Wang was stunned. She was not stupid. She immediately understood the meaning of Qin Liuxi's words and said, "Do you suspect that the Ding family deliberately led us into a trap?"
"It's hard to say without evidence."
Wang thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Probably not. We have no enmity or enmity with the Ding family. Your grandfather even supported Ding Shouxin when he was in power. Now, although our family has been defeated, it can't hinder them in anything. They can just stand by and be unwilling to help, so as not to add insult to injury and be framed, right?”
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "Mother, some people are prosperous. Do you know what they least want to do?"
Wang: "?"
"It's the person they were when they were poor. They wish they could completely eliminate this poverty without anyone knowing about it, bury their past dissatisfaction deeply, and only show the pride of success to others, highlighting their wealth and achievements, instead of letting people remember their abjection. "When it's cold." Qin Liuxi smiled lightly and said, "I can't say whether the Ding family has this mentality, but if it is, then there is no such thing as hatred, it is just evil."
Wang was stunned, and a chill ran down his back.
Qin Liuxi saw that she seemed to be frightened, so he comforted her: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being. It is a great blessing that there is no loss. As for the raw materials, let Mr. Li go visit Mr. Qian whom I mentioned before. His family is doing business, so it is somewhat In addition, I also got two people in Ningzhou Mansion. They are servants released by the prison officials. They are good at making tea and fruit cakes. They are all available. You can take them to the shop and let them know when the workshop is open. They can just make candied tea fruits according to the recipe."
Wang was overjoyed: "Is it reliable? After all, it is the formula you gave me. It is not allowed to be leaked. Do I have to sign a death contract?"
"It's been signed, and I've met them personally. They are all loyal and reliable. Once the shop opens, and I give them enough money, they will feel more at ease working in the shop."
"That's natural." Mrs. Wang's eyebrows relaxed. Seeing Qin Liuxi's calmness, she sighed: "Look at me, I am so flustered when something trivial happens. I am not as calm and calm as a little girl like you. I'm really ashamed."
Qin Liuxi chuckled softly: "As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. After this incident, you will know better whether you are doing business yourself or listening to the manager's reply. That's right, that guy from the northeast in the old lady's house Servant, is my sister-in-law’s roommate?”
Thank you guys for the tickets, Zhamo will work hard to make progress.
